    The nfl has 32 teams. The nba only has 30, and both those leagues are way more popular than the nhl. There is no way 36 teams can be supported. 
     

    Currently, as a percentage of revenue the Canadian teams are hugely subsidizing the league. Financially it would make the most sense to move some US franchises from the poorly performing south (yes, I’m looking at you  Florida and Phoenix) to Canada. Ontario could easily support 2 more teams. And there is Quebec City. Screw Toronto and their so called veto. Look, the southern US experiment is just not working. Let’s stop flogging a dead horse. 

    Nba 2 team expansion next year. Vegas and seattle. I'm not saying now, Before the end of the decade

    I think one can make the argument that good drafting can allow you to use some if your picks as currency while still being able to keep pace with the rest of the league. Probably not the route I would have taken myself, considering that for most of Benning's tenure we were right in the middle of a massive core shift, but it's an argument nonetheless.

     

    The biggest problem with that strategy is that both the ameture and pro scouting need to be top notch, and while I think our ameture scouting has been quite good, the pro scouting for whatever reason has been kind of atrocious (with a few notable exceptions).

    I don't mind them trading the second and third round picks.  Last 15 years we've had two  second rounders (Demko and Hoglander) turn out and no 3rd rounders (maybe Dipietro)turn out which is about average in the league.   

     

    Just need clear picture of what it is we're doing

    I like the The Schmidt/Toffoli/Miller/Highmore/Dickinson/OEL/Garland deals.  But the cost for all this was quite substantial. NO 1st or 2nd in 2020. NO 1st/3rd/4th in 2021. NO 2nd/3rd in 2022. Madden/Gaudette/Lind OUT

     

    I wanna make it clear that consider us winners on all these transactions.

     

    But like wtf was the point of doing all this. Why now?,  we're still a few years away from being legit contenders.  With Holtby being traded and Dipietro may be being back next year along with Pod making NHL. We only have Jett Woo, Danila Klimovich and next years 1st left in the pipeline for the foreseeable future, 1 or 2 of which might be gone at the deadline next year.

     

    I just don't get it. Great trades tho

    [Trade] Canucks trade Jay Beagle, Loui Eriksson, Antoine Roussel, 2021 1st-round pick, 2022 2nd-round pick, 2023 7th-round pick to Coyotes for Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Conor Garland

    No, he's not worth it.

    This is what happens next, I think. Schmidt's likely gone, so we'll get some cap space, and/or roster players and/or draft picks.


    Holtby, we can either keep him, or we can trade him. Either way we still have an asset we can use. Buyout is a waste, but it could save us cap space if need be.

     

    All we need is to fill in the roster with cheapish players, which we have plenty of in the system. Guys like Macewen, Bailey, Gadjovich, etc all have a chance to make a solid contribution to this team.

     

    Fourth line - A cheap player, whether it be our farm team or UFA, we have space now.

     

    We're going to be just fine.

    I think we should keep holtby and Schmidt. Our teams different now

    For anyone reading this in 2026. Ryan Nugent Hopkins and Zach Hyman just signed 5 million for 8 years and they're around the the same age.  

     

    We paid 2 million a season more on the capto save 2 years of dead cap.

     

    We got best deal so far of the off-season.

    I would like to see Arizona move to Houston/Utah/Idaho and the Panthers move to Quebec City before any further expansion.

    Its not Happening now but since 1990 the average is about a team added every 3 years. sometime before 2033 they'll announce 4 team expansion

    (Rumour) Rangers to trade for Giordano after ED

    Vegas had the benefit of going first. Teams were more cautious this time around and played games of chicken exposing high priced superstars.

    Vegas also had the benefit of Columbus Minnesota Florida Anaheim hooking them up as the last expansion franchises. Seattle wasn't on the cards then.  Seattle didn't have that luxury and will only get help from Vegas or Nashville as Cap dumping yard.
